Charles Kelley accomplished a lifelong dream on Wednesday evening (Nov. 8) at the CMA Awards when Lady Antebellum took the stage to assist Darius Rucker on the opening performance of "Hold My Hand." Little did Rucker know, Kelley had performed the song many times before as a kid.

In a video Kelley posted to Instagram on Thursday (Nov. 9), the singer wins #ThrowbackThursday. A young Charles Kelley is shown rehearsing with his band and the song is none other than Hootie & the Blowfish's "Hold My Hand."

In the short clip, Kelley can be seen singing lead in a childhood bedroom accompanied by another young drummer and guitar player. The video then segues to Lady Antebellum's performance with Rucker on Wednesday night, of the very same song.
